The history of 1 oz Gold Lunar Year of the Dragon proof coins

The 2012 Gold Lunar coins commemorate the Year of the Dragon, the only imaginary animal in the series and one that has been part of Chinese culture for over 6,000 years. This 1 oz Gold coin honors the dragon’s place in the Chinese ancient lunar calendar and is said to give power, strength and luck to those who are born under its symbol. In addition, the Year of the Dragon Gold coin is a tribute to the dragon, one of the four benevolent spirit animals for the Chinese people and a symbol of all things male. The dragon depicted on these Gold coins is also a symbol for nature and the seasons, bringing rain for crops in the spring and descending from the heavens in the fall.
